DD had to have an emergency C section the day after she had a set of gel nails done. The nurse stripped off the varnish with a scalpel!

That is my understanding as well. A small sacrifice to enable you to be well looked after.
Good luck with it all.

Hi petra
my understanding is that it’s incase you’re oxygen levels drop during surgery. Your finger nails will turn blue, letting the medical know something is wrong. They won’t be able to see see if you’ve got your nails painted.

Good luck with your op flowers

To facilitate the use of an oxygen saturation level meter which clips on your finger end.

Next Tuesday I have to have a medical procedure for which I will be sedated.
The blurb states that I must remove nail varnish. I only had my nails done last Friday sad
Would it be unreasonable for me to wear surgical gloves?
After all, the Dr will be wearing them while doing a very intimate procedure, but my hands will be just laying on the bed, nowhere near the intimate area grin
